Summary
Democrats are ramping up opposition to Trump and Musk’s brazen assault on the federal government, which critics see as a constitutional crisis.
Protests erupted after Musk’s DOGE accessed taxpayer data, prompting Democratic lawmakers to pledge stronger resistance.
Senate Democrats staged an all-night protest against budget chief Russell Vought, while some senators vowed to block Trump’s nominees. Hakeem Jeffries introduced legislation to curb DOGE, as activists push for McConnell-style obstruction.
Nationwide protests and lawsuits signal a revived anti-Trump resistance.
Growing grassroots engagement and local officials taking steps to counter Trump’s agenda reflect intensifying opposition.
They weren’t primaried, they just didn’t run again. Manchin specifically got to serve multiple terms despite blowing up multiple democratic initiatives during Obama’s term. He had the full support of the DNC and absolutely wasn’t “ostracized” from the party. Similar to Fetterman, if he chooses to run again for senate, he will also have the full backing of the DNC and will be able to run as a democrat.
